Current Topics in Quantum Science and Engineering

This course focuses on contemporary research in quantum science, including quantum computing and quantum information processing, quantum measurement, quantum communication and networks, quantum sensing and metrology, and quantum devices. The emphasis is to understand the current literature in the context of the broader QSE field, and to learn how to critically evaluate claims and evidence. Knowledge of quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and statistical mechanics at the undergraduate level, and concurrent enrollment in QSE core courses is assumed.
